The Road Home

We were all ready to get home - and we all missed Ender! - so we left on Sat morning and decided to drive straight through instead of spending another night in a hotel. You would think 9 hours wouldn't be that bad for us since we're used to road trips, but it dragged on. We got to make a few little pit stops along the way (and a few more than we planned due to a queasy kid!).

And now...we're home and the unpacking/laundry/garden/housework catch up has begun. I'm thankful that we have a bit of a break before we have any other big summer plans!

Sun Valley

We have been in Sun Valley for the past few days - John has a dental conference so we are tagging along. Honestly...I haven't been super impressed, but I think a lot of that is because we love in such a beautiful place, that it takes a lot to impress me these days (unless it involves 90 degrees, white sandy beaches, and warm ocean water...then it doesn't take much to impress me!). Either way, we've had a fun time and have gotten to see a part of Idaho that we haven't been to before.

The boys and I have been spending most of our days at the pool. It's been pretty warm, and the pool at the condo we are staying at is pretty quiet. We've spent hours there, and while I can't say it's super relaxing for me (Archer has decided he can't swim, despite being a pretty decent swimmer at swimming lessons!), 2 of the 3 are good enough swimmers that they can do their thing...the one who thinks he can't swim though...that's another story!

We've also been exploring Sun Valley some. We've tried out a few nice restaurants, checked out the cars for the Sun Valley car rally, and went to the sawtooth botanical gardens. Overall, it's been nice to getaway, but I'm excited to go home!

Ready to road trip!
